A great movie if you can get your hands on it. I wish I could watch it now but have lost my VHS copy.

Island life was never shown better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful film, November 8, 2010

This review is from: Tuttles of Tahiti [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is an absolutely delightful film, wonderful story, excellent acting. I have no idea what the absurd comment above is about (1930's socialism? 1980's prosperity? Really? Does the Bush Depression make any difference?). Forget the ridiculous and irrelevant political allusions - it's just a feel-good piece of escapism set in the South Seas with fine actors and funny situations - you will enjoy it. To be honest, however, I don't think any film is worth $40 on VHS. They do play it on TCM sometimes.

This review is from: Tuttles of Tahiti [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I had fond memories of the book and of the movie itself I had seen many years ago on TV. In viewing it again, I wonder what I was thinking then for now it is more than a bit boring and its atmosphere of 1930s feel-good socialism is almost unbearable now that we have lived through the prosperity of the 1980s.

On top of that, the VHS sound is exceptionally poor.

Moral: If a film is NOT available on DVD, it is probably that unpopular for a good reason.
